RECAP
Things appeared to be going quite well so James thought he should take the risk and ask Lily the question he had been deliberating about asking her when she had interrupted him. He took a deep breath and asked "Lily?"

"Hmm?"
"Um…. You see… I kinda, uh, was wondering if maybe, well, only if you wanted to, kinda, uh, might like to maybe, possibly, uh, actually consider going out with me, uh, well, err, only if you want to, I mean…uh, yeah…"
James sat nervously awaiting her reply but after several moments of nothing but silence he sadly realised she was sound asleep. He took a deep breath as he lay back on the couch. "Great, just great! You finally get her to take you seriously for a minute and when you feel there is actually a chance she might say yes to you, she falls asleep! I've liked her since first year goddamnit! It's not like I chose to fall in love with her. I have total control over the female population here at Hogwarts, minus one, and of course that one is the girl end up falling for! Typical isn't it? The one girl I can't have is the only one I want."
He sat there staring at Lily's peaceful face for what seemed like an eternity before going and collecting a blanket and tucking it around her. Lying there she looked so sweet, so innocent, so vulnerable, so beautiful, so… so…. perfect. James couldn't resist. Quietly he bent down and kissed her softly on the lips, wishing even more so then, that she could be his. James stood and went to collect another blanket and curled up in the arm chair next to her, staring into the dying embers of the fire, thoughts full of nothing but Lily.
If James hadn't have been so lost in thought he may just have seen the tiny smile than crept over Lily's face.

Lily woke in a start and looked around the room. Where was she? All of a sudden it came flooding back to her. She looked at her watch and noted the time 5:08 am. She lay back for a second and then let her eyes rest on James. She sighed. Last night had been amazing, the two of them laughing and mucking around like the best of friends. If only he knew how she really felt about him. Sure, on the exterior she appear to loathe him, but truth be told, she was really in love with him. If only he loved her too. Sure he asked her out every second day, but you could tell he was only doing it to annoy her. Or was he? It was all too confusing for Lily. She took one last look at James, heaved herself up and made her way up the stairs to her dorm. She most certainly did not want the whole of Gryffindor to see her in her pyjamas!
